Auto hold and ESC lights orange

[dan765]

Hello all,

I've got a 2012 with the 3.8L 120,xxx miles.

Pulled into a gas station today, right when I stopped at the pump, the car shut down. Filled up. When I restarted, I noticed that the auto hold and ESC lights (and one other light) was orange. Pulled up to make a left turn at a light and the car shut down again. Started up, drove home without having to stop at another light.

Came out about 15 minutes after, started the car, no lights on. I don't know what's going on.

I dont know if this has anything to do about it, but the car has been having issues starting. Sometimes it will turn over a few times before starting, sometimes it will just turn over and not start at all. Been happening for about 2-3 weeks now.

Thanks.

First thing I would check is the battery. How old is it? Connections?

Battery is about 2 years old. I'll have to check the connections.

Update: Had to run and pick up daughter from school. While waiting (idling), the car stalled again and the orange lights (auto hold, ESC, EPB) came on again. It was very difficult to start again, just kept on turning over. Finally it started and I ran back home. Noticed during that drive home that the AC wasn't blowing cold.
